Remove them or change them? There aer a million soft key changers
I would just like to either hide it or remove it from my today screen. i use the HTC Home plugin which doesnt give me much space at the bottom for the rest of the plugins. the Calendar Contacts bar at the bottom takes up space that i would like to use for plugins
I'd like to get rid of this bottom bar as well and cannot find a way ... I'd like to be able to hide the top start bar as well.
Here is the wisdom with which you seek:
Just place the .exe file in your Windows/Startup folder on your phone, reboot and your bar will be gone.
Go and sin no more.

Great little tweek really cleans up my Today screen!
Great, i was looking for a tweak to this too. Thanks a bunch.
Anyone know a hack to keep all of WM6 in full screen mode?
I'd like all apps to behave like PIE in full screen mode. The start bar and bottom bar remain hidden until you press a hard button.
Any ideas?
Thx for this!
OMFG! I'm the FIRST person to comment on this in over FOUR YEARS?! lol Still rollin with the Titan (Mogul)! Old School to the Core, I am! tried various other botom bar hiders/removers. I think the Today Shrink 1 got rid of my sms altogether!
(or maybe the culprit was the patched M2D I tried to install.) Either way, after that little fiasco I trusted NEITHER ONE! thx much for this tiny tool. - The Jackal
Hi everybody,
at the end a contribute of mine... Hope you will find interesting.
I finally find out what is needed to change both the Title and the Icon in the main WM6 taskbar. You can see attached my mod with no text and Htc green arrow icon. I'm building up a guided procedue to act if I find you really interested and if moderator finds it legal . For the moment I can only suggest you that you have to modify shellres.192.dll in order to change the Icon (icon numbers 292/293) and shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in order to change the Start text (xxxx is localization code i.e. 0410 for Italy!).
Let me know what do you think about it and then I'll go on with the suggestions!
Cheers!
Guided Procedure:
---------------------------
What you need:
1 ROM Extractor for WM
2 Res Hacker
3 Siggner (attached)
4 Resco Explorer/Total Commander
5 You can change the Start Title editing the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui at the string table resource number 321
6 You can change the Icon editing the shellres.192.dll file at the Icon Resource number 292/293 (Icon must be 21x21)
First of all you have to extract those two files from \Windows folder of your device. Those file are blocked because ROM so you need the freeware ROMExtractor to copy them from \Windows to the internal storage folder. Then you can copy them on your PC hard-drive to manipulate. !!Keep them safe because they are your original ones!!
To edit them you absolutely need the freeware Res Hacker. Open the files with it and edit the resource as you want. Save. Normally ResHacker make an original copy of the file. If not, be sure to keep safe your originals!
When you save your changes, the dlls lose their integrity and you absolutelly must sign them again to let your device accepts as originals.
Use attached Mssigner to act like that.
If txt log says succeded (not the application, you have to check the txt file to verify if it's succeded!) now you are ready to copy those files back to yor \windows on the device. Use Resco Explorer o Total Commander to do that.
Overwrite when you're asked.
Soft Reset...
Is everything all right!!?
When you'll become confortable with the proc you will probably be able to edit a lot more of Windows resource and customize your system!
Let me know your tries, guys!
that is very nice. I haad never liked those letters, however i would like to keep the windows logo.
Nice! Because I use WkTASKchange, the application icons in the taskbar let me know what is running, but they also cover the focused application title. That looks bad. So, I'd like to remove the application title in the taskbar. Without changing the Start icon, if possible. Although it sure is nice to change that as well
how do i change the "start" text? where do i get images (ie ".ico") to replace the original windows icon( preferably a black logo of windows)?
Thanks.

Not connected to the post.. but do you use wktask successfully on your diamond ? I cannot manage to hide a task called demarrage... even with no process i have a process windows near to the start menu...
It can be cool to hide the start menu if it helps to put more things in the task bar
Ciao

Sorry for the off topic.. Yes, WkTASK Manager works fine. I've excluded manila.exe, repllog.exe and HTCActionScreen.exe, through the Preferences - Excluded tab, for instance. Not familiar with your demarrage process though..
Wonderful. Why don't you tell us exactly how to do it? Would really appreciate it.

Thats a nice idea
Or something like this:
What size does the icon need to have? and does it have to be a .ico or can it be any image?
I hope the most answers are on the first post!
Wait for your replies!
BRICKED!
Well, that didn't go too well!
The first attempt resulted in a bricked phone, I had to hard reset as it wouldn't boot. The second attempt I was a bit more careful but now all my icons appear messed up (in File Explorer folders and files are books and message icons, no start icon at all etc.).
I'm a bit confused by the instructions, firstly, in shellres.192.dll, if I export icon 292 with Res Hacker it is 41x36. If I have a look at Icon Group 4609 it is listed as a 41x41 icon. I know you mentioned it should be 21x21 but this doesn't seem right, I would have expected 32x32!
Anyway, I tried from scratch using a 21x21 icon and it still messes up all my icons. I think I will leave it for now until someone makes an App or Cab file.
I am using SwiftBL v7 ROM by the way
Mmm... Strange...
Since I found out the trick it's my 10/12nd attemp to change icons and texts and everytime it worked fine!!
Anyway, her you are some information (Look the attachment):
- I'm on official rom 1.93.408 ITA (the htc official latest one)
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
I will take some time to understand what's the difference on your ROM...
Let's keep in touch...
isnt there an easy way to change them letters?
I noticed the same issue's as wired69 did.
But in your instructions you say that the icon size has to be 21x21 but later you post and i quote:
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.

Click to collapse
If so could you please update your instructions.
Do you only have to change icon number 292 or both 292/293? That was a bit confusing to.
Hoping you will help.
P.S. Which certificate do you use for the signing part because the .mui signes just fine but the .dll does not.
You can read HERE how to change your icon.

Indeed my friend!
Bricked, but solved now !
Hello,
when I had two times bricked my diamond after signing and installing new mui file, I found, where the problem was.
I removed "Start" text from menu for better view of WkTask, then I signed file with mssigner. When I copied new mui to windows folder, my diamond became a brick :O The main problem was in missing SDKCert.cab. Because when you are signing with SDK certs edited mui, you have to install SDKCerts.
Now it looks for my needs, screenshot included.
Bye
Hi! I try to search for this but i find nothing.
So finally, how can be remove calendar and call history from Home tab?
I would like to have only the clock in home tab..
Thanks a lot!
ps:Sorry for my English.

it's no possibile with a digital clock?
I try to install this cab, clock appear at center of the home tab, but the background in others tab is now black with a white square a corner!
now i must restore my last backup...
no other ideas?
I have been asking for this for so long and noone has come up with a solution.
from what i understand it can be done with any clock analogue or digital, personally i dont even want the time on my home screen - Please See Here- please can anyone help with this cab?
7e640092_manila if edited in notepad can remove different elements from the home screen, but for some reason my device has a non-english one and i cant understand what it says.
also for those wanting to get the file so you can have a look, the only way i managed to get the file off my device was to changing my computers folder view settings to show "all hidden system files" and "Show all protected operating system files" then to connect through active sync, and search the windows dir on my device (which took F'in ages!! so be warned if you try!!!) using windows explorer, and then copying it to desktop.
I have tryed the analogue clock approach HERE found i had the problems shown by the screenshots and posted for help 7 or 8 times.
it seems people wont help at all when it comes to this!!
i hope the info i provided gets a solution for this irritating problem
No clock / call hist / cal
Well, the easiest way i could think of, if u do not want to have the call hist/cal/clock on the Today screen, is to dl any analog clock, extract the manila files, replace the clock images with transparent ones using Manila Editor, and finally copying all those files to the windows folder in ure device.
However, if u want a digital clock w/o those 2 tabs, there is a post right below by Elvelynn here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2861270#post2861270
Hope dat helps.
Edit: To MysticGenius, perhaps u could try dling a different clock and install the cab file that removes curtains by NisseDILLIGAF, to fix the problems u encountered, cos from my experience, installing analog clocks does not change the size of my operator text.

yikes, it seems u kinda misunderstood wat the cab file does. All it does is remove the white dotted lines between the call history & calendar texts. dats y she posted further instructions to remove the remaining call hist / calendar icons & text.
Anyway, just found out dat on the next page lies the "clean_startseite_custom.cab" file, courtesy of Elvelynn, which shd clean up the home screen, and if u have installed the "clean_startseite_tf3d.cab", be sure to uninstall dat first b4 installing this cab. of course, theres no guarantees it will work on ure device, so a backup might come in handy for some folks

according to the author of the cab file, it does wat the instructions say in the first link i posted here, i.e. it removes the dotted lines & the call hist / calendar icons and text, and the clock background becomes transparent. it also seems dat if u use the default WinMo alarm clock, the alarm time will still be displayed in ure home screen.
u could just backup ure 1bbfdc9b, 7e640092, 4820c63b, 6aec5f68 and 74ddfccb manila files, which is wat this cab file replaces.
the Keys in xml files should be
IDS_NOAPPOINTMENTS
IDS_CALENDAR
IDS_NOMISSEDCALL
But for italian language there isn't a manila file that have these keys...
nobody find solutions?
I'm near to solution
in file 1c684cd8_manila you can change the font color (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452#post2749452) and I try to modify in this file the font size!
I find:
- " F o n t S i z e "GJ $ " for the size of Call registry and calendar
- " S i z e "GJ p " for the space where texts are..
But if you go in hex (for font size) and change 24 to 00 the tf3d don't start...
If you set it to 01 you see only a simple line, but the space of selection stay there and i don't find a solution to remove it, changing the number of hex in S i z e nothing happen...

Hi milillicuti!
You can use the cab i've enclosed, It should work! dont forget to soft reset
(Credit goes to mUn_Rus)
Good luck mate
Jeroen
Thanks for your anwser !
I've already tried this cab, but it put a mess on my home, with a&t information and other languages ...
Did i do something wrong ?
you probably didnt do anything wrong, it messes up a lot of peoples phones i think.
There are themes out there that have the background in all the tabs, i have installed a few of them and never had any of the problems i had with the cab file.
What wallpaper are you trying to use?
Thank you for your answers.
I would like to use my own and not the theme's one.
I use this one :
Can you try this.
I had a problem with mun_rus's because it left white squares all over. I made one that worked and ive just swapped out my image for yours.
thx kao. How did you do this file ???
That works great on each tab, except home where i don't have anything. Just the wallpaper an top and bottom curtain. But no clock, no calendar, no more missed calls .....
I'm going crazy !
And the soft keys are going crazy too ! Before i had my contacts and second today, now i have contacts and menu ...
and the soft keys don't work ...
sniff
Weird - are you running standard manila?
Yes. A theme i downloaded here. Speed black i guess.
In fact each time i go back on the home tab, it keeps the spft key of the previous tab. And still no clock or calls/ calendar.
How did you do this file ?
Its mun_rus's mode9 file, but with my image embedded into the manila file. I used manila editor to change that.
Im running dutty's V4 rom with no changes to manila and it works perfectly.
I used quickcab to make it into a cab file
hey is there anyway to uninstall the file? it messed up my phone and i just want to uninstall it now =/
Hey man,the file millicuti is ok for me....could you change the image inside the file whit this one?thanks a lot if you can make a cab for me...
I tried Milillicuti's_Background.cab which was nice then tried to edit the cab file with my own wallpaper, maybe i dont know what Im doing but it stays as the same wallpaper and the big question is HOW do i remove file to go back to the default setting.
(NM i found the 2 files i needed to remove)

How do i remove it?
i have a bette rquestion ? how to remove bckgrounds from the tabs? i have installed a rom, wwe george for my diamond but i dont like to have the same background for all tabs. I want the standard bckground for all tabs, just to change for the first, home screen.
man i installed that by mistake and got the same problem
im trying to change my icons on the manila but only some of them change does anyone know how to fix this proble thanks
Which icons have you changed and which ones are not changing?
the weather and the calender changed but the others did not music, internet search, settings, people,home
What program are you using to change the icons?
I have been using cfc-gui to change my icons and they are grouped together depending on what they are (i.e. - tray, hero, people screen, weather screen, etc.).
Are you trying to change your "tray" and "hero" icons or icons within each tab?
no programs just cabs from different people on this site
You're not making the rookie mistake that I made and installing a cab (to change the icons) on top of one that is already installed?
yup, so what do I do? Help me learn
Just uninstall all of them and soft reset. You should be okay.
how do i do that? where do i go
Click the Start button in the upper left hand corner.
Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs
Select a program and click "Remove" in the bottom right hand of the screen.
sorry for the missunderstanding i knwhow to remove programs i want to change the icons but i dont know why only some changed and would like all of them changed
It depends on the cabs. Some people change all of them and some only change some. For instance, my cab that I have installed doesn't change the photo, music, or AT&T tabs because I didn't include them in the changes.

No way he can do that
Reason he intalled diferent themes on top of others so soon he uninstalles one wen he gos for the next on there will be an error cause windows will not find a second backup of the original.
Sorry to tell you but you need to hard reset your device.
for anyone trying to modify there manila icons.
Use CFC Gui.
Intructions easy way.
Connect you phone on Sync to you device start CFC GUI should be a options to extract all manila files from you phone.
After that you will see all kind of images change the one you want then send it to you phone from CFC GUI more instruction on CFC Gui threat.
Hope i help you all

So it won't just uninstall what it can "find" and not worry about what it doesn't?
Also, when unintalling a program/theme, how does it know what to revert back to? Are the original files not overwritten/deleted?
